Well done to our girls who did themselves, their families, club and county proud in what was only our second appearance at this fantastic competition. To play 6 games against top class opposition and to win 5 from 6 was an outstanding achievement just losing out at the final hurdle to the reigning 2017 champions. Many thanks to our bus driver Jimmy from Piltown Coaches for all his help and co-operation throughout the day.

Our goalkeeper Brianna O'Regan also finished in 1st place the Long Puck Competition with 2 fine long pucks moving up a place from her 2nd place finish in 2017.
